Hi,

After upgrading to squeeze and Grub2 my old line:
# defoptions=vga=791
in the menu.lst file is no longer relevant and I am supposed to do
something with the /etc/default/grub file. In there it states:

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

If I set this at 1280x1024, which I know my server supports, will that
roughly give me what I had?

Also, what is "real GRUB" where I can ise `vbeinfo' to see what my
server supports?

Hi
edit /etc/default/grub with below line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791"
then
update-grub2

will give you what you want
